Buiding a Canoe

This cedar strip canoe is being made in Temagami, Ontario, Canada's second oldest canoe company. I attended a canoe building demonstration on the weekend which I found both fascinating and instructive. These hand made canoes take over a month to construct. Tomorrow I will post a finished canoe, a real work of art! I think this looks nice on black.

Thanks so much for your comments and favs on yesterday's baby chipmunk, he made it to the PP!!

This must have been really interesting - would love to see an actual wood canoe being made. Think they are so pretty. Like the way you put this against a dark background and viewed against black it's terrific. Fav

I would find that really interesting too. It looks beautiful in this stage- can't imagine how great it looks finished!

Beautiful light on the hull. The builders must have a lot of craft to build a canoe like this - and of wood. Curious to see the finished thing.

What an interesting course to go on. Looking forward to seeing the finished canoe. Love the rich colour against the black.

How interesting to see how they are constructed. It must have been a great demonstration to watch.
